"PIED" ON THE CARD RULE.
Negotiations a, n stnnd-till in the Printers
strike.

~ " Us h"'
strike.
The printers strike has assumed more
serious proportions since the failure of the
conference last night between the TypothetB
and the committee Of " Big Six" rs Typo
graphical Union, No. 8, is familiarly called.
The failure of the conference committees
last night to agree on q basis of compromise,
led to the belief this morning that negotia-
tions were at n standstill. Later in the day il
was announced that President GlacEin.
OF " Big Six" had received another request
from the Typothet8 for a conference. At
the. latest accounts Mr.. Glackin and the
Strike Committee were discussing the letter,
and IT was thought probable that the request
would be granted.
The strikers, and the pressmen and stereo-
typers who have joined them, gathered early
TINS morning in and around Pythagoras Hall
to the number Of q thousand or more. All
were s%anguine of ultimate success.
The utmost vigilance is used by the pickets
typos who are arriving on every train from
AL parts of the country in search of
fat sits" When captured, the stran-
gers are taken to Pythagoras Hall,
where matters are explained to them:
possible, they are persuaded to return
whence they came, the strikers paying ex-
penses. 1t is n pleasant excursion and pic
mic for the migratory comps" who traverse
the land over Just for the fun of the thing
and to see the sights.
AT the rooms of the Typothetn, the en-
ploylng printers association, in Park place,
Mr.. w. V. Pasko, who is in charge, reports
that up to the present time more than one
hundred printers have applied to him. They
Keep him busy answering questions and writ
ing letters of Introduction to the proprietors
and foremen of the offices where printers are
wanted.

Mr.. Pasko's Office to-day seven printers were
plloted in by n member of the association.
Four of them were intelligent and fairly we'll
dressed, and the others were tattered and
torn. Mr.. Pssko said he had no faith in
them, but he would send them to any Office
they desired to go to.
One of the trio replied in good, round
brogue; " know where l want to go. But
what about gate money ? We want gate
money, and won't work until we get gate
work to-day; it's too late"
MIR. Pasko said that there was no gate
money to be had and gave them letters to the
heads of a large printing house instead.
They. went away smiling.
It is said that the reason why Mr.. De
Baun's men did not quit work was that the
four non-union men employed by him joined
the union last Sunday.
There are seventy members of the Typo
thetg. and but seven of them have heretofore
employed %non-union printers only. The en-
ployers say the strike cannot last more than
three weeks at the outside, and that work on
the holiday publications and the magazines
will not be seriously delayed.
The pressmen employed in Mather's press
room, at Is Vandewater street, struck this
morning because press-work for j. F. Trow's
office was sent there. The strikers are at
tached to Pressmen's Union No. "a.
The eight men and two employed at CODY
Il Co.'S Office also quit because the Typothe-
te card was posted.
Twenty three compositors, job printers,
pressmen and other employees in j. W. Pratt
Il Co.'s office quit work this forenoon and
Joined the strikers at Pytbagoras Hall.
The employers meet this afternoon at 8
o'clock and the Union will discuss the strike
and take more decided action tonight. The
strikers will receive strike money this even
ing, married men being allowed $12 each a
week and single men ST.
The question of raising the scale of prices
for evening newspaper composition will be
discussed this evening at the meeting in Clar-
endon Hall. An increase will be de-
manded, but it is not settled how much
it will be. The demand will prob
ably be three cents oil the 1000 ems. The
rate is now 40 cents per 1000. The printers
think the new scale will be adopted without
any opposition. Some of them want the fig
ure placed at As cents.
